The Crysis 2 Blog has an official reaction from Crytek to news that a pre-gold build of their upcoming shooter sequel Crysis 2 has leaked onto torrent sites:

Crytek has been alerted that an early incomplete, unfinished build of Crysis 2 has appeared on Torrent sites. Crytek and EA are deeply disappointed by the news. We encourage fans to support the game and the development team by waiting and purchasing the final, polished game on March 22. Crysis 2 is still in development and promises to be the ultimate action blockbuster as the series’ signature Nanosuit lets you be the weapon as you defend NYC from an alien invasion. Piracy continues to damage the PC packaged goods market and the PC development community.

One need not be on the side of corporations to see that piracy is wrong. Two wrongs don't make a right - whatever perceived harm EA or Crytek has done does not justify piracy, especially when a perfectly good alternative exists (simply ignoring their product).

I don't side with piracy but I don't side with anti-piracy either, since because of the anti-piracy things like ACTA exists. I side for the consumer, who ends up being the real loser amidst all the fucking piracy debates.

Bottom line, piracy is wrong, and the things people are passing into law to fight piracy is even more wrong. Piracy will always exist, it's up to the entertainment industry to find different models to face it. Cliffski put a great piece on his site, Talking with Pirates. Maybe if publishers adopted his stance on how to make games maybe piracy wouldn't become so much of a problem anymore.
